The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2017.08.03

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:

Prev Open: 1.18015

Open: 1.18554

% chg. over the last day: +0.42

Day's range: 1.18331 – 1.18590

52 wk range: 1.0339 – 1.1909

Yesterday, purchases prevailed on EUR/USD. The euro strengthened against the US dollar by more than 50 points. The
preliminary report on the labor market in the US from ADP was rather weak. This statistic put pressure on the
American currency. At the same time, EUR/USD could not fixate above the round level of 1.19000. The current
technical pattern indicates a possible correction. We expect statistics from the EU and the US.

News background on 2017.08.03:

– Indices of business activity in Germany and the Eurozone at 10:55 (GMT+3:00) and 11:00 (GMT+3:00);

– The index of business activity in the non-manufacturing sector of the US from ISM at 17:00 (GMT+3:00).

The price has fixed above 50 MA and 200 MA, which indicates the power of buyers.

The MACD histogram has begun to decline and is below the signal line, which signals a correction on EUR/USD.

Stochastic Oscillator is located in the neutral zone, the %K line has crossed the %D line. There are no signals at
the moment.

Trading recommendations

Support levels: 1.18400, 1.18000, 1.17600

Resistance levels: 1.19000

If the price fixes below the local support of 1.18400, a correction may develop on the EUR/USD currency pair. The
movement is tending potentially to 1.18000-1.17600.

Alternative option. If the statistics from the US turns out to be weak, we recommend considering buying EUR/USD. The
immediate goal for profit taking is the round level of 1.19000.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:

Prev Open: 1.31980

Open: 1.32219

At the moment, GBP/USD is in a sideways trend. Investors adopted a wait-and-see attitude before the decision of the
Bank of England. It should be recalled that at the last meeting of the Central Bank, three officials supported the
increase in the key interest rate. At the moment, most experts believe that the regulator will leave the monetary
policy at the same level. We recommend you to pay attention to the comments of representatives and the report of the
Bank of England on inflation.

News background on the economy of Great Britain:

– The index of business activity in the services sector of the UK at 11:30 (GMT+3:00);

buy GBP/USD.

Trading recommendations

Support levels: 1.32000, 1.31500

Resistance levels: 1.32350

If the Bank of England indicates that the issue of tightening monetary policy may be raised in the near future,
demand for the pound may grow significantly. The movement is tending to the round level of 1.33000.

An alternative may be the fall of GBP/USD to the "mirror" support of 1.31500.

1.26000. The closest support is the level of 1.25700. The technical pattern indicates a further correction on the

At the moment, there is an ambiguous technical pattern on USD/JPY. The currency is in a sideways trend. The key
trading range is 110.350-110.900. The positions must be opened from these marks. The market is waiting for
additional drivers. We recommend you to pay attention to statistics from the USA.

The news background on the economy of Japan is calm today.
